Just wanted to say, 'Congratulations'

Its important to stop an acknowledge all of your hard work over the last 4 weeks. Its traditionally something that I think we are not so great at, stopping our busy lives to tell ourselves, 'well done'.
So take a minute and do that.........

Some of you have already had your measures done and some have them scheduled over the next few days. All the results that have come in have been successful due to everyone's commitment to the program.

I had a quick chat with Sandy (one of the participants) this morning and I asked him how his measures went and he said he had lost 2.1kgs of total body weight and 2.7kgs of fat. He seemed a little disappointed, but I thought these were great results.

A few things here to understand
1. the number that's the important one is the total fat lost and not the difference on the scales. Remember that!

2. On reflection I thought, 'everyone is expecting to lose 4kgs' and that's why some may be disappointing with only 2 or 3kgs of fat lost - which is still a great result.

Wise young PJ said to me once that he considers 'ANY' movement of a number in the right direction as a successful outcome. And he is right!

Success is the continuous movement towards a desired outcome.

  1. Hi, Kirsten here.

    Just had my measurements taken by PJ this morning. I just could not be happier. My results far exceeded my expectations.
    Have finally got back to the size I've wanted to be for the last couple of years.

    The eating plan has been great. I really feel like I'm well on the way to kicking the bad habits I had developed. (this is sounding disturbingly like a bad informercial for Ingite!)I feel healthy, but also feel a really positive sense of achievement about actually doing it.

    Thanks so much to Darren, Kat and PJ for putting the programme together.It's programmmes like these that really sets Ignite above other gyms. And especially thankyou to Nadine who has totally kicked my butt to train harder!

    And of course a very special thanks to my sparring partner Jeff, the marathon man!

    Now it's time for the next challenge, continuing with the consistency 80% of the time!
